Hey folks. My friend has an issue with her computer, she was playing a game and the screen went really messed up, full of what sounds like artifacts. Now when she boots the computer everything is messed up visually, things will load but it's so messed up it's beyond use.
She's not confident to try things herself and she got this computer built for her in 2008 by a local gaming PC specialist company, who offer long term after care (she's been to them a few times).
In the result this is her GPU dying on her, what sort of "modern day" card would give her performance on par with the 8800GTS 512mb? She doesn't have much in the way of spare money so this isn't an opportunity to get a high end card, just something which will be up to scratch.
She'd prefer to stay with nvidia given the choice.
cheers for any suggestions folks.
